Scientists Build Biological Robots From Human Cells

Scientists have engineered tiny robots made from human cells, called anthrobots, that can potentially heal wounds, regenerate tissue, and treat diseases. Using adult human cells, these bio-bots can self-assemble, move on their own, and help repair damaged regions of neurons. They show immense potential for therapeutic applications and can safely biodegrade within 60 days. The researchers have demonstrated the anthrobots’ ability to help neurons regrow without additional genetic engineering or programming, indicating their remarkable therapeutic potential.
